Grace: It's Our Way of Life

As Episcopal Christians we
Worship at home daily and together weekly;
Study the Scriptures, our tradition, and what it means to be a disciple today;
Serve our families, our parish, and our world in the name of Christ.

Everything we do is done with an ethic of Welcome
because we are only here by Grace.

Sermon, Pentecost XVII, Proper 20, 23 September 2012 - Wisdom and Following Jesus - Learning to Turn Aside and Stoop Down














BMW recently launched an ad campaign against texting and driving, 
starting with an arresting commercial that starts off humorous 
and ends tragically.

Sermon, Pentecost XVII, Proper 20, 23 September 2012  

Wisdom and Following Jesus - Learning to Turn Aside and Stoop Down

  The second sermon on Wisdom and following Jesus in which we look again at how wisdom is more than what will make us healthy, wealthy, and wise. True wisdom is Christian wisdom that turns aside from our busy agenda to the child, the least and the lost who need us and who just may be Jesus in disguise.



The Collect

  Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
